I think he was sick of dealing with the RINOS.
Is there anything the Heritage Foundation has done to preserve this republic lately? Anything? What is it’s worth?
Yes they did. They wanted the mandate to be an insurance policy purchase or posting a bond i.e.self insure. YA how did that work with the MA legislature...
DeMint committed two cardinal sins.
He is a solid conservative.
He allied himself with Trump.
A Democrat has to be practically convicted of murder to lose his job.
Which Heritage document is that?

I was wrong about when it was created. It was created last year.
Codespeak for “...got his weasel stuck in the zipper...”
Notice how it is never female politicians who quit to spend more time with their family. I would have a lot of respect for a politician who quit to spend more time with hookers and drinking whisky. LOL.
After DeMint leaves, the way will be clear for a merger with the Brookings Institution ...
Then that means they now have the money in place to do whatever they want.
“Who” is it at Heritage who decides these things?
It is clear the Progressives are trying to takeover the GOPe and change their narrative or just plain lie to get control of this country.
They were dumped by the hundreds last year and know they are despised by Americans, and could never get elected.
What can WE do to stop them?
——What can WE do to stop them?-—
I contributed to Heritage, have a membership card and a certificate.
Now I wonder?
This is silly. He left his Senate seat to join, presumably at Heritage’s invitation, the organization. Now, they’re somehow ‘shocked’ that he brings some of his senate background with him? Sounds more like an excuse.
I had been ardently hoping for a DeMint presidential candidacy. We would finally have a conservative choice in the race. A viable conservative candidate.
I believe that in recent years Heritage has been heavily funded by the Koch brothers.
Wow—how about this?
Thanks for the link to Politico where the real meat is.
The article at American Thinker is largely a rehash of the Politico article.
Inside squabbles won't make much difference to the outside world.
My suspicion is that DeMint has been outed as GOP-E and Needham and younger, more aggressive conservatives are looking to be more confrontational. Koch’s libertarian support of Heritage makes me unsure of that conclusion, but that’s what it looks like at first sight.
No, I think it is just the opposite.
DeMint’s HF was backing up the tea party wing where Trump wants to go moderate (e.g., ‘tweak and relabel’ Obamacare rather than the long-promised ‘repeal and replace with a free market solution’).
Could be, but I know Needham hates the Chamber of Commerce and the CoC hates him. DeMint is pretty tight with the CoC. Of course, there may not be a Needham-DeMint feud at all, or it may be misunderstood/misrepresented. I’ll wait to hear from Needham and DeMint themselves.
Interesting. I am of course no fan of the CoC political priorities, especially on immigration. But Trump apparently is going in the amnesty/”comprehensive immigration reform” direction himself.
I just saw this now with top billing at Drudge, under the heading of “Mercers in IRS Showdown for Billions”:
